Episode 2476 - Friday, March 29, 1985

Treatment of Jim Davis in today's episode careens wildly from lavish praise to scornful abuse. So about like normal. Then we talk for a while about whether the tree in this strip is the same tree as a different tree in a different strip. And some other stuff. Whatever.Today's strip:

In today's episode, Chris lies to Jon about Hawaiian lounge singer Don Ho. He lies shamelessly, to no purpose, and in full knowledge that his lie will eventually be caught. Hey, it's 2016 -- that's just how we live now.Today's strip:

Any readers out there know anything about cars? Would you like to be a guest on this episode? I only ask because we spend several minutes speculating about the make and model of Jon Arbuckle's car, and it would be nice to have somebody on the show who knows what they're talking about in this area. So if you could come on the show before this episode posts, that would be great!VermillionAlizarin crimson Today's strip

Jon and Lyman be talkin' 'bout dogs and cats. True story. But you and I both know the subtext is all about a certain short-fingered vulgarian. We discuss Lyman's piss-poor debating skills, his proclivity for irrational and capricious emotional outbursts, and of course his ongoing failure to RELEASE HIS FUCKING TAX RETURNS.

Hey, y'all remember what Jon Arbuckle's profession is? You do? Wow, that's weird.

Anyway, this strip is for you, I guess.If you think about it, it's pretty obvious Davis intended for Jon and Garfield to represent America and Donald T****, respectively.Today's strip

We discuss the scientific reason cats purr (which we both recently learned) for surprising length considering neither of us can remember what it is. I could tell you now but I think it's better if you look it up on your own. We also reference the current political climate in the U.S for what I'm pretty sure is the first time ever on this podcast.Today's strip
